Hello scientists!

Here are some fun science activities to enjoy while we are practicing remote learning.  I’d love to know what activities you have chosen to do while we are not together. I am interested in what activities you most enjoyed or your new ideas that you would like to share. I have included a ”Talking Drawing” attachment for you to use to take notes and draw illustrations of some of your work.
